First Days

Welcome to the Blogspot for the No Mans Heath Passive House

This blog has been posted to keep up to date with the build of a pair of semi detached houses which will be built to the Passiv Haus principles and certified by the Passiv Haus Inst Germany.
This will be the first semi-detached to be built for a RSL and certified by the Passiv Haus Institute.
We intend to provide you with a weekly update of how the build progresses and what problems have to be overcome during the course of the build.
Fortunately Low Carbon Construction are well versed in using modern building materials but this build will introduce some new products to create a Super Insulated Masonry house.

  2. This blog is great, really good information. I have one question Chris - are you externally insulating this project and using brick slips? If so, are you able to provide any details?

  3. Skywards, apologies for not responding sooner, the walls are externally insulated with a clay brick slip. We are currently on site in Chester with a certified PH using the same system with brick slips and render. Also in Knutsford where we are using a Hilti framing system, which is thermal bridge free. This is the frame for a stone cladding. See more at Hooga-inc.com
